I also just spent $12 (with shipping) to get all the oolong samples from Tealux. I’ll get to try 9 different oolongs. Hopefully that’ll give me a good mix of green/roasty/earthy etc so that I get a better feel for oolongs.

I’m not really sure this counts as an order, but I just got the three free samples from Yezi Tea. Just had to pay for shipping ($2.95) so it comes out to less than a buck a sample. Not to shabby. Lol.
I’m trying their Yi Fu Chun Black Tea, Zheng Shan Xiao Zhong “I can’t believe it’s not scotch” Black Tea, & Jin Jun Mei Black Tea. So we’ll see how that goes.

Also got some of the Twinnings free samples sent to me.

Now I just have to resist placing an Adagio order since they got a few blends I wanted to try back in stock…And I want to try a few more samples…But I still haven’t opened the ones I already have… /bites lip/ Does it count as breaking a Hiatus if you use points to pay for most (possibly all) of a purchase? Lol!

cavocorax, a screw-lock tin? Does that mean you’ll need a screw driver to open it? That’s hardcore! LOL
I’m actually in the market for a few tins myself, because I’ll be placing my Butiki order in the near future, and will need tins to store the five million pounds of tea I intend on ordering.

I got almost the same Verdant order earlier this week, but with a sample of imperial breakfast summer blend added, so excited for them to arrive!! And your DT order looks delish, I have been tossing up the idea of a sample pack with fall teas, and Minty Cow (which apparently was formerly Shamrocks & Shenanigans) was my favorite chocolate tea, so I might need to get some of that too! :)

I’m binging right now. I currently have outstanding orders with:
New Mexico Tea Co.
Della Terra
Whispering Pines
Design a Tea
Then I saw a recommendation for Camellia Sinensis on the “recommend an online seller thread”. Looked at their website and this is exactly the kind of company that I usually like ordering from so……this sort of happened.
Chai Camellia 50g
Ombrelle de Papier 50g
Shui Xian Lao Cong 50g
Feng Huang Hong Cha 50g
Luku Hong Cha 50g

And I don’t normally order teaware from companies I’ve never dealt with, but I made the mistake in looking – big mistake – and added this to my order:http://camellia-sinensis.com/en/teapot/theiere-de-m-shao-so-5
I think it is just BEAUTIFUL. This will be my third yixing teapot. I really need to season them……

Oh, MissLena, I should have probably gotten the summer breakfast blend as well! ah well, what can you do? Just got confirmation that my verdant shipped, so now I just wait!
I’ll be back in here momentarily because I think I’ll be placing my butiki order this morning.

Yeah I had to pick up a sample to see what it’s like, so much love for it on here! I probably could have gotten an oz, but I must cut back on tea! I should place another Butiki order, I really want to try the Wild Taiwanese and the PTA..I’ll sip down a few teas first though :)

Oh boy! Sil posted on the Misc Sales page that Taiwan Tea Crafts are having a 20% off sale! I’ve been meaning to order from them as they got GABA Oolongs for a fair price plus lots of great looking oolongs. /Oolong Owl Hoot

They also have a free shipping coupon for $25 orders with a sample for first time buyers. Sadly, I went over $25. I couldn’t take anything out of the cart and the 20% deal was killer on 50g bags. But at least I didn’t spend $50!
